What is the Sour OG strain?
Sour OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 29.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Sour OG, also known as Sour OG Kush, is a popular hybrid marijuana strain known to provide a balanced high. This strain is made by crossing Sour Diesel and OG Kush, creating a 50/50 sativa/indica ratio. The strain was created as a masterful blend of these two cannabis legends and has been hugely successful, winning 1st place in the 2011 High Times Medical Cannabis Cup Michigan hybrid category. The buds are not only large but are dense as well, covered in trichomes and gleaming crystals that give the strain a frosty appearance. Most samples express dense, round, OG Kush-type buds laden with large, sticky trichomes. The odor and taste are usually an equal mix of both parents, with sour lemon, pine, fuel, and a distinct kushy undertone, although some versions have a more fruity profile. Often described as a one-hit-quit strain, Sour OG starts with an energetic head high that gradually gives way to a relaxing body stone.

How do you grow Sour OG?
Flowering time averages 8-9 weeks with a medium yield, typically grown using simple hydroponics. As a 60/40 sativa-dominant strain, it has a flowering time of 65-75 days with yields of 600+ grams per square meter. These balanced genetics influence its growth pattern, combining the bushy, compact nature of Indica with the taller, more finger-like leaves of a Sativa. The strain is relatively easy to grow but can present challenges for first-time growers. The large buds can cause the plant to sag and may need additional support, requiring attention to humidity control during flowering. Can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, grows to medium height and produces colas with excellent structures.
